This Republican just put the GOP's racist plan on plain display

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) took the stage at the National Conservatism Conference and declared that America is “a nation and a people.” With those five words he threw aside the pluralism that has defined this country since before its founding and embraced an ideology rooted in blood and soil, in...

The GOP is nakedly embracing white supremacy and the Confederate neofascist ethos.

It’s an opinion piece from a left-leaning source.

that's ok

I'd like to read it without paying for a subscription - the accusation is strong, either support it with a link I can read or retract I think is appropriate

if I said similar except implicated Democrats and racism but gave no valid link to it .... wouldn't I be held to a standard of providing valid links ?

But with the words of a right-wing traitor.

Sen. Eric Schmitt lets his extremist flag fly in racist speech at NatCon

The Missouri senator suggested true Americans are “the sons and daughters of the Christian pilgrims that poured out from Europe’s shores.”

I use Firefox with NoScript and didn't notice anything about a subscription. The core seems to be:

“That’s what set Donald Trump apart from the old conservatism and the old liberalism alike: He knows that America is not just an abstract ‘proposition,’ but a nation and a people, with its own distinct history and heritage and interests…“When they tear down our statues and monuments, mock our history, and insult our traditions, they’re attacking our future as well as our past. By changing the stories we tell about ourselves, they believe they can build a new America — with the new myths of a new people. But America does not belong to them. It belongs to us.”

Rather than defending the tearing down of statues (which can be done, with caution), the article blames Schmitt for censorship at the Smithsonian. Might or might not have a trend of truth in it, but the article is a very leaky ship. There is a stench of racism in the Republican party, but as anyone who has ever tracked down a mouse after it pulled out of the trap will know, it is possible to blame a large number of sources for a stench before you find the actual origin.

Get Firefox, use the NoScript plug-in, and see how it looks then. It may seem absurd, but publishers almost always download the entire article to your computer, then use some bad formatting with Javascript to make it look like you don't have it. NoScript fixes that.
